It’s been a beat or two since I was last here.

A lot has happened. I sold kit. The ft857d
Just recently bought a new radio. The #truSDX and am in the process of building a linked dipole.

A halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is confirmed following the X1.1 event this evening. Full details regarding this via https://t.co/aqK4Q6XLqw

What’s makes it even better is this antenna hasn’t been used for over 2 years and I still get 1.1:1

@G0MBL My headrests have a flat spot on the shaft so the cable ties work well on it. But just make sure they’re super tight.

[2e0HVQ @2e0HVQ]

Finally, got the Kenwood, TM732E into the car, main unit is in the boot and the head unit mounted above the dash, I’ve also got a little speaker tightly secured on one of the headrest bars so that the speaker is just behind my ear.

@EE I am an iPhone user. Although some of my friends use android phones, why does it still cost me to send a picture over the Internet as a multimedia message?

Acquired my daughters old laptop for ham use including sota
